The Flintlock Pistol is a pre-Hardmode gun that fires bullets at a fast rate. It can be bought from the Arms Dealer for 5 GC. On Old-gen console and 3DS , it does not deal any knockback.

(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Its best modifier is Unreal.

(Old-gen console and 3DS versions) Its best modifier is Demonic, as it does not have any knockback and thus cannot get modifiers that affect it. (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) It can also get the Deadly modifier, which, while the Demonic modifier may provide the greatest damage per hit, grants a higher increase to the overall DPS.

Trivia

Even though it is based on a real-life flintlock pistol, it more closely resembles a revolver (comparison). In reality, the single-shot rate of fire of flintlock pistols and muskets are very similar; however, in Terraria, the Flintlock Pistol's speed is 16 (Very fast), compared to the Musket's speed of 32 (Slow).
(Old-gen console and 3DS versions) The Flintlock Pistol is one of the only guns with no knockback, along with the Clockwork Assault Rifle, Star Cannon, and Minishark.
The Flintlock Pistol is one of the 11 guns in Terraria based on a real gun, the others being the Chain Gun, Handgun, Musket, Quad-Barrel Shotgun(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), Red Ryder(Desktop, Console, Old-gen console and Mobile versions), Revolver(Desktop, Console, Old-gen console and Mobile versions), Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, Tactical Shotgun, and Uzi.
